Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for performing measurements, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising: performing measurements for a first cell and measurements for a second cell, wherein if the first cell corresponds to a primary cell, a first measurement subframe pattern is applied to perform the measurements for the first cell, wherein if the second cell does not correspond to the primary cell and if the second cell is in a deactivated state, a measurement timing configuration for a discovery signal is applied to perform the measurements for the second cell, and wherein if the first cell corresponds to the primary cell, the measurement timing configuration for the discovery signal is not applied to the measurements for the first cell.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the discovery signal is used to perform the measurements, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is measured on entire orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of a subframe.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving the first measurement subframe pattern for the first cell; receiving a second measurement subframe pattern for the second cell; and receiving the measurement timing configuration for the discovery signal.

4

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein: the first measurement subframe pattern indicates a time domain measurement resource restriction pattern for the primary cell, and the second measurement subframe pattern indicates a time domain measurement resource restriction pattern applicable to the second cell.

5

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the measurement timing configuration is configured per carrier frequency.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: if the second cell is in the deactivated state, using the discovery signal rather than a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) to perform the measurements.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the discovery signal is a signal based on at least one of a of cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel-state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS).

8

8. A user equipment (UE) for performing measurements, the UE comprising: a transceiver; and a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to: perform measurements for a first cell and measurements for a second cell, wherein if the first cell corresponds to a primary cell, a first measurement subframe pattern is applied to perform the measurements for the first cell, wherein if the second cell does not correspond to the primary cell and if the second cell is in a deactivated state, a measurement timing configuration for a discovery signal is applied to perform the measurements for the second cell, and wherein if the first cell corresponds to the primary cell, the measurement timing configuration for the discovery signal is not applied to the measurements for the first cell.

9

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein if the discovery signal is used to perform the measurements, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is measured on entire orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of a subframe.

10

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to: receive the first measurement subframe pattern for the first cell; receive a second measurement subframe pattern for the second cell; and receive the measurement timing configuration for the discovery signal.

11

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein: the first measurement subframe pattern indicates a time domain measurement resource restriction pattern for the primary cell, and the second measurement subframe pattern indicates a time domain measurement resource restriction pattern applicable to the second cell.

12

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to: use the discovery signal rather than a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) to perform the measurements, if the second cell is in the deactivated state.

13

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the discovery signal is a signal based on at least one of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel-state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS).
